Patent CA-2966411-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TAKKEN WILLEM
IPC: A01P7/04
Filed: 2014-10-30
Abstract: In a bioassay for candidate mosquito repellent compounds, six compounds significantly reduced the number of landings on an attractant-baited pad in a chamber. In order of increasing efficacy the compounds found are 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, linalool, delta- decalactone, DEET, PMD and delta-undecalactone. Delta-undecalactone was tested and compared to other repellent compounds in a semi-field experiment. In both "push" and "push-pull" mode, delta-undecalactone provided significant mosquito repelling activity, and improved with respect to catnip and PMD. Delta-decalatone and delta-undecalactone provide improved mosquito repellents with a spatial effect for topical human or animal use, or in environmental control situations in either "push" or "push-pull" mode.

Title: Automatic compensation for the light attenuation due to epidermal melanin in skin images
Inventor: BARKER ANDREW
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 2016-05-18
Abstract: Melanin is an effective absorber of light and is able to dissipate the majority of light absorbed by the pigment. This can mask the absorbance of biomolecules of interest such as hemoglobin when imaging skin tissue. Melanin is the primary determinant of skin color which can vary between individuals as well as within individuals (due to the presence of portions of skin with more or less pigment as well as features such as freckles and moles). Described herein are methods for compensating for melanin absorption at the pixel level of an image, thereby allowing for more accurate imaging of concentration and distribution of biomolecules of interest in a tissue portion.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are described herein that comprise a multi-screen application which allows users to establish communication sessions with other users of the multi-screen application as well as allowing the user to request multimedia content using the same multi-screen application interface.  The user makes a connection request to establish a multimedia session by entering a name or phone number. The multi-screen application uses a request string from the connection request to search a user's contact directory in order to determine possible user connection identifiers associated with the request string. The multi-screen application may additionally or alternatively transmit the request string to a directory server maintained by a service provider. The directory server may provide an endpoint for retrieving multimedia content associated with the string. The multi-media application may be used to allow a user to 'call' multimedia content using the same user interface used for calling another user.
Patent CA-2991604-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STEVENSON DAVID L
IPC: B60K15/03
Filed: 2018-01-10
Abstract: Volume of a fluid, such as gasoline or diesel fuel, in a tank is determined by measuring the pressure of the fluid using a pressure sensor positioned proximate the bottom of the tank. The depth of the fluid in the tank is then calculated by dividing the pressure by the density of the fluid. Fluid volume is then determined mathematically or from charts given the depth as well as the size and shape of the tank. Multiple pressure readings may be taken along or near the bottom of a tank, and an average pressure determined that may be used to calculate measured volume. To maintain accuracy at different altitudes, pressure readings are preferably adjusted for atmospheric pressure using differential pressure sensors or a processor using data indicative of both pressures. Volume changes exceeding a predetermined threshold, or which are not comparable to dispensed fuel, may be flagged and alerts generated.

Filed: 2016-10-21
Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for synchronizing a controller and sensors in a system. A timestamp is provided in a host controller of an interface event on an interface coupled with host controller through detecting a message from a sensor on the interface that identifies the issuance of the interface event caused by the sensor at a first time. In response, the controller issues first and second events on the interface at respective second and third times, while concurrently counting cycles of a clock in the controller after each issuance. The controller also receives a first and second sensor counts representing the internal sensor clock times noted for the first and second events. The controller may then accurately calculate the timestamp of the interface event corresponding to the first time based on both internal controller counts and the sensor counts without needing a timestamp from the sensor directly.
